“Wife, I have to tell you.”
“I just t a wretched person from a small mountain country today.”
“At first, I thought…”
As he was saying this.
For so unknown reason.
Everything before his eyes suddenly beca sowhat blurry.
Huh?
The old man rubbed his eyes.
But his vision did not improve.
The sound of his wife talking with him also beca extrely fuzzy.
An inexplicable drowsiness swept over his mind like a tidal wave.
The old man yawned.
He didn’t think too much about it.
“Ah, it’s just old age catching up to .”
“At this hour before, where could I ever get to sleep.”
He shook his head and was about to sit back on the sofa to take a short nap, just like he used to do, ignoring his wife’s voice.
But just as he turned around.
“Wait.”
His wife’s voice ca again.
Her speech beca clear once more.
But the tone was very blurred.
Even making it hard to tell if it’s a man or woman’s voice.
But the old man still didn’t care and continued on his way.
Until,
A gentle hand was placed on his shoulder.
“Wait.”
“What?”
The old man felt impatient.
“If you have sothing to say, just say it. Why wait?”
He shook his shoulder, trying to shake off his wife’s hand.
However,
His wife, who usually curled up like a quail at his light scolding.
Her strength today was surprisingly great.
That hand seed like an iron hoop, tightly gripping his shoulder.
Even… causing so pain.
“You damn woman, are you trying to kill ?!”
Gradually regaining consciousness, the old man glared back angrily.
However,
What he saw was not a familiar face.
But a man in a suit.
The man was short, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face fixed in a stiff smile.
He stared at the old man.
“Old man, did you hear talking to you?”
The man opened his mouth.
From his mouth, the old man heard his wife’s voice clearly.
“Old man, did you hear talking to you?”
The voice beca slower.
But clearer and clearer.
And the old man.
No longer had the tough attitude he had when facing his wife before.
The chill from the abyss made him shiver all over his body.
As his body continually plumted.
Until…
“Huh”
In reality.
The old man inhales a breath of cold air.
Waking up suddenly, his face still had a lingering trace of fear.
He quickly looked around.
But he didn’t notice the weird suit man at all.
His own wife was standing in front of him, her face full of concern.
“Old man, I was talking to you.”
She said the sa thing as in the dream.
“How did you fall asleep just standing there?”
Facing his wife’s concern.
Very unusually, the old man no longer felt impatient.
Instead, he grabbed his wife and vividly recounted the contents of his dream.
After telling his wife,
He hurried to the living room and called his friend who was proficient in fortune-telling.
“Old Zhou, I just had a strange dream.”
“In that dream…”
The old man was going on and on about the contents of his dream.
It seed that this strange dream had no adverse effect on him.
Except,
This unusually strong desire to share.
At this mont.
On various forums on the Internet,
An increasing amount of the sa content is being posted repeatedly.
The posts all tell of inexplicably experiencing a sudden wave of drowsiness at night, then entering a dream state, and encountering a strangely dressed suit man.
Without exception,
These posters are all from IP addresses in Kyoto.
At first,
These posts did not draw attention, and they sank quickly into obscurity shortly after being sent.
But as more and more people posted and even others from different provinces started appearing,
More and more people began noticing the sa content appearing with increasing frequency.
Until an artist drew the man from the dream and posted the picture in the forum.
All at once,
Countless people began to flock to the comnts section, claiming that they too had dreamt of this man.
And so,
News of the mysterious “Dream Man” quickly stirred up ripples on the Internet.
At the sa ti,
Kyoto.
Night.
After going through the matter with the respected elder,
The atmosphere of Kyoto at night is no longer as lively as before.
It’s now growing quieter with the gradual arrival of nightti.
Step.
Step.
A pale-faced young girl in a down jacket, carrying her freshly bought dinner, hurriedly walks through the alley.
This is her way ho.
The surroundings are full of familiar neighbors.
Therefore, even when night falls, even when the surroundings are silent, the woman does not seem to be afraid.
In the empty alley, only the sporadic cough of a young girl echoes from ti to ti.
Maybe it’s out of boredom,
She gently hums a familiar ballad.
However,
Gradually,
The young girl suddenly realizes.
The ballad she’s humming seems to have harmony.
As if not far away,
Soone is singing the sa ballad with her.
The young girl looks back.
As expected.
A woman wearing a coat and holding a black umbrella stands nearby.
The mont the girl sees the woman, she first looks up at the sky in confusion.
“Strange, it’s not raining?”
She mutters to herself.
The girl begins to feel that sothing is not right.
She decides to go straight ho without thinking about anything else.
She takes her eyes away from looking at the sky.
The girl is about to continue on her way.
But at that mont,
A shadow descends quietly.
The woman wearing the black coat has sohow appeared in front of the girl without her noticing.
The black umbrella casts a huge shadow under the moonlight, enveloping the young girl.
From beginning to end,
The girl doesn’t hear any footsteps.
She becos scared.
She unconsciously wants to turn and run away.
“Am I beautiful?”
It’s not until the pleasant voice sounds,
That it catches the girl’s attention.
She unconsciously looks at the eyes above the woman’s mask.
What beautiful eyes they are.
As if all the beauty in the world is contained within them.
Due to a genetic disease since birth, the girl rarely goes out.
She has never seen such a beautiful person.
Her eyes beco srized.
“Beautiful.”
The girl nods repeatedly,
Like a chick pecking at grains.
Then,
She sees the woman reach for her ear,
And slowly unfasten the strap of the mask.
The girl’s eyes gradually widen.
Reflected in her pupils is a blood-soaked mouth, split to the ear.
In the end,
Only the woman’s light, drifting words echo through the alley.
“What about this?”
Until the voice fades with the wind.
Disappearing along with it, are the woman with the black umbrella and the young girl who had gone out to buy food.
Not long after.
[Good]
Chen Sheng walks the streets of Kyoto, replying to Vermilion Bird’s ssage.
After absorbing the Heavenly Person Cells, he had left Golden Palm City and set off on his journey back to Kyoto.
Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird had so other matters to deal with and did not accompany Chen Sheng back to Kyoto together.
The ssage he is replying to now,
Is Vermilion Bird informing him that Feng has successfully captured Ma E’s brother Ma Xiong, along with so Heavenly Human Descendants.
When he returns to Kyoto, he can pay a visit to the Holy Church Headquarters first.
Chen Sheng naturally doesn’t refuse.
He now wants to increase his spiritual power as quickly as possible.
Absorb more Heavenly Human Descendants,
And get one step closer to breaking through the second realm of the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing.
Night falls,
Chen Sheng looks around.
On the streets, there are only scattered pedestrians.
He doesn’t know when it will return to its forr prosperity.
Or if that day will ever co.
Chen Sheng thinks as such,
His pace quickens.
In a short while,
He has arrived at his destination.
“Sir.”
Underground in the Holy Church Headquarters.
When Chen Sheng arrives at the deepest cave once again,
In front of him, besides the mory of Azure Dragon, there is Feng whom he had t ‘once before.’
This current Azure Dragon, now wearing a pitch-black mask, shows only a pair of flaming red pupils.
She stares at Chen Sheng.
Her gaze is sowhat complicated.
“Hello,” Chen Sheng politely replies.
Although they had t once,
Chen Sheng had been completely unaware that ti because of the ban imposed by the Heavenly Person, losing all his senses.
So, to him,
Today is the first ti he sees her.
After responding,
Chen Sheng looks at the unconscious Heavenly Human Descendants lying on the ground in disarray.
These people have varying degrees of injuries on their bodies.
It’s clear that the process of capturing these people and bringing them to the Holy Church Headquarters hasn’t been peaceful.
Without saying much,
Chen Sheng imdiately releases Xiao Hei and begins to absorb these Heavenly Human Descendants.
Due to the small number of people,
This ti, it takes less than two minutes for Xiao Hei to absorb all the Heavenly Human Descendants present.
The heated flow rapidly enters his body.
[Soul: 66]
This ti, it only brings about a six-point increase for Chen Sheng.
Compared to before, it could be said to have been reduced by more than half.
Gazing at the panel,
Chen Sheng’s brows furrow deeply,
But it’s not because the harvest was too little,
but rather because of the information Xiao Hei conveyed to him.
“Ma Xiong is not dead.”
